If you want to know more of this topic, here I will let you three cool pages where you can find more about. Teens, Technology and Romantic Relationships: From flirting to breaking up, social media and mobile phones are woven into teens’ romantic lives by Pew Research Center. This is a series of studies that focus in more aspects and with a scientific approach to the use of social media and mobile phones and the effect on romantic relationships.
